Goverment change. Sometimes it does matter.

See what happens when you vote out conservatives? Things get better. It's not a coincidence.

They finally voted the conservative fossil fuel shills out of office and now there's a flood of environmental laws going through. And all it took was devastating wildfires and huge reductions in wildlife populations.

Did anyone else read this as 'Coral mine' at first?
Ha! But great news!

The state of coal mining companies in Australia is so fucked that not building a coal mine that would affect our already destroyed reef is uplifting news. Fuck Clive palmer, fuck Rio Tinto, fuck Adani. It's fucked up but I'm pleasantly surprised that they put a stop to this one. I hope this becomes a precedent for future mining projects

I don't get how people cant respect things for their natural beauty and put aside the thought of the money they could make, stupid of them to even try putting a coal mine there.

Our voting system is a lot less screwy than theirs, so you're probably going to be waiting for a while.
Ours is still a bit screwy, but less than them.

But the great barrier is miles out to sea. Fake news I reckon.

Have you ever notice how China is building polluting military bases on top of pristine coral reefs in the South China Sea?

The conservatives are always banging on about "unAustralian this" and "unAustralian that" but then have no issues destroying the Australian environment. The Australian national anthem is literally and ode to its natural beauty.

Is ours not more screwy with gerrymandering? In what way do you mean less screwy? Genuine question, please don’t get mad :)
ThinkingWithPortals3 t1_j7v155e wrote
We've both got that but American gerrymandering is an art form.
They've got the electoral college, but their winner take all system basically excludes realistic third parties.
